mission of the program is “to prepare technically-orientedmanagerial professionals and leaders for business, industry, government, and education byarticulating and integrating competencies in Renewable Energy.” The program preparesgraduates for jobs in the fields of energy and renewable energy systems as well as regulatory andgovernmental agencies. To meet the demand for well-rounded graduates who are knowledgeablein both technical and economic aspects of renewable energy systems, an interdisciplinarycurriculum was developed, consisting of a multitude of selected courses from across theuniversity. In 2018, the name of the program was revised to the “Sustainable and RenewableEnergy” program to reflect the increasingly broad array of energy
